Video Card PDF
is commonly known as
graphics accelerator card,
display adapter, or graphics
card. This is a hardware
component whose main
function is to generate and
display the output images to a
computer monitor.
TYPES ACCORDING TO SLOT USED
VGA PORT
Video Graphics Array or VGA is the
common display standard
developed by IBM and introduced
in 1987.
TYPES OF PORTS USED BY VIDEO CARD ADAPTER
DVI PORT
Digital Visual Interface or
DVI is a digital port used to
connect devices such as
monitor, DLP projector, or
Television to a computer.
TYPES OF PORTS USED BY VIDEO CARD ADAPTER
HDMI PORT
High Definition Multimedia
Interface or HDMI is a port used to
transmit high-quality and high-
bandwidth streams of audio and
video between computer and any
devices with HDMI connection.
TYPES OF PORTS USED BY VIDEO CARD ADAPTER
S-VIDEO PORT
S-Video means Super Video, a round
port capable in transmitting video
luminance (Y) and chrominance (C)
signals separately. This port enable the
computer to connect on compatible TV.
GPU - Video Graphics Processor or the video processor is the chipset where
the processing of data for graphic occurred. The GPU of any video adapter will
tell the card’s performance levels.
Video Random Access Memory (VRAM) -
is a high-speed and unique array of
dynamic random access memory (DRAM)
used to store the image and video data
that a computer displays. VRAM is an
integrated circuit that serves as a buffer
between the CPU and video card. VRAM
was originally designed as a high-
resolution graphics adapter.
Memory BUS width
is basically the
speed of the video
RAM to access the
GPU.
